A Grand Sermon .

In Rome, on Sunday last, Bish op Keane
of Richmonn, preached magnificent SER
mon in the Irish Franciscan Church of St.
Isidone, Oh the subject of st. Patrick aud
the Irish nation, comparing the early glo-
ries of Christian Ireland to the transfgu-
ration of Christ on the Mount, and His
after persecution and suffering on the
Journey to Calvary. He drew a powerful
picture of Ireland's condition as the light
and teacher OF the nations of Europe, her
children reaching even to the gates OF
Rome itself. He described the destruc
ton of Irelands church, the closing of her
schools, the oppression OF her people
From this treading of the wine press Ill
counted blessings were to flow to the world.
Once the inStructreSS of nations, Ireland
was now held up to scorn and mockery as
foolish and ignorant AS Christ was de-
spsed and the most abject OF men, man
of sorrows and acquainted with infirmity.
so was Ireland. God permitted the nigh
test empire IN the world. the Romans, to
cruelty His Son. and so was Ireland cru
cited by the mightiest empire that has
existed since the days of Augustus. From
her crucifixion her love has gone to the
ends of the earth to plant the cross of
Christ and has built up His Church every
where. Jesus lay three days in the tomb,
which was sealed with the seal of Caesar
and the synagogue. When Easter came
He arose in glory. Ireland's Easter is at
hand. after three centuries of entomb-
ment. The first brightness was Catholic
emancipation, and it has siuce been SLOW
ly but steadily expanding. Life has been
returning to that mangled form swathed
in grave clothes. Already the trumpet OF
the Lord is proclaiming 1t is Easter
morn.'' Voices deny it. declaring, There
is no resurrection, she has not risen, there
is no life in her they have stolen her
from the tomb while we Sleep" But al
though the same mystery OF the cross pre-
walls, He who has led her to Tabor and the
tomb will just as surely lead her to the
light. God is just to nations. The hour
of retribution must come. Erin 8 crown
of reward will be one of joy. God forbid
she should ever have ambition to be any
thing but what God has destined her to be.
We ask for liberty-not the false liberty
which mistaken ones OF other nations ask.
where they complain OF the law. seeking
anarchy and license, but freedom for i'm
partial justice, for the growth OF which
God has fitted her. for the peace that she
has sought: not the grim peace of tlood
with which nations delude themselves. but
the peace of the Lord. like that majestic
forgiveness that was granted even to per
fidious Jerusalem. We ask prosperity
not the mock prosperity of hard hearted
wealth lowering over fostering want. but
fire and clothing against nakedness COM
fort instead of the hard. grinding debasing
suffering and persecution of past centu-
ries. The whole sermon was a grand tri-
umphal panegyric. The church was
crowded with Irish and American resi-
dents and visitors, including many Prot
estants. All were deeply impressed.

THE PRESIDENTS PICNIC.
A QUIET AND ENJOYABLE DAY IN
WISCONSIN.
Fishing ON the Lakcs-Far from the Mad
dening Crowd.

Fishing on the Lakcs-Far from the Mad.
deniDg Crowd.
A dispatch from Madison, Wis, says:
This is good fishing weather and the
President and his companions have gone
Fishing on Lake Mendoza. A steam
launch conveyed them to an island in
the lake whence they went to the fishing
grounds in small boats. No bulletins Of
the catch have been received. The only
public event expected to take place is
the reception. The crowds have disap-
pcared, and with the exception Of the
banners, arches and Chinese lanterns
the town wears its ordinary aspect.
The Presidential catch-eight black
bass. Postmaster Villas and wife join
the party.
The Presidents fishing party returned
at G o'clock. They had excellent luck,
and brought back between thirty and
forty good sized fish as trophies. They
were carried by steamer about four miles
up the lake to Maple Bluff, where they
took small boats, each member OF the
arty having an Oarsman to himself.
They reached the fishing ground and
had been fishing over an hour when a
high wind arose and made it dangerous
to remain out longer, so'they sought
shelter at the Magnus Rex Clubhouse,
near by, where four members of the club
welcomed them and entertained them at
fine lunch. The club house, though a
small, unpretentious wooden structure,
was claborately decorated with ever
greens and otherwise.
BY the time the lunch was over the
wind had subsidized, though light rain
set in which lasted all day. The party,
clad in proof garments, betook
themselves again to the row-boats and
continued their sport until nearly dark.
The President caught eight black
bass, the two largest being respectively
four and quarter and four and a half
pounds. These were the heaviest fish
caught. The total catch was 21 black
bass, 13 pickerel and a few white bass
and perch.
The President fishcd for black bass
alone and Bill Dunn, his oarsman and a
local authority on fishing matters, de-
cIares with emphasis that he, the Presi-
dent. certainly does know how to handle
rod. The President says he enjoyed
the day immensely and his admiration
for the scenery of the lake is boundless.
The Presidential party dined this
evening with Col Villas, Prof. Chamber
lain, President of the Wisconsin Uni
versity. and wife, Col. Knight and wife
and 3. j. Stevens and wife, of Madison,
being invited to meet them.
A public reception was given by the
President and Mrs. Cleveland at the
Villas mansion between and II O'Clock
in the evening to the citizens of Madi-
son. 1t has already been stated that the
postmaster general and Mrs. Villas would
join the Presidential party here. They
have now accepted the Presidents invi-
tation, and will accompany him during
the remainder of the journey.

A Big Fire in waynesboro.

A Special from Augusta Ga, says
An immense cotton fire took place in
Waynesboro', town of two thousand
inhabitants, about 80 miles south of Au-
gusta, on the Central Railroad. About
600 bales of cotton are mass Of flames.
One of the trucks in the Central Rail
road warehouse rolled over match,
striking it, and almost instantly fire had
spread throughout the entire warehouse,
and 600 bales of cotton were in flames.
There are neither water-works nor fire
apparatus in the town, consequently no
way to check the flames, and they had
full sway.
The news was wired to Augusta ear
ly in the afternoon, and Capt Star, of
the Central Railroad, went down in a
special train to the scene, but owing to
the scarcity of water his force of hands
were of no avale further than preventing
the spread of the flames to the adjoining
buildings. Besids the cotton, the rail
read depot, large quantity OF merchen-
disc stored therein, quantity of express
and three freight cars were consumed,
making total loss of about $50, 900, on
ly two fifths of which was covered by
insurance. This is the third large fire
that has ocaurred at Waynesboro, and
it is mystery to outsiders that the town
has not yet organized fire department.
At present there is not even bucket
corpse IN the place.

The Illinois Train Wreckers.

A st. Louis special Says: ga diaboli-
cal attempt was made to wreck passen-
ger train on the Illinois and St. Louis
Railroad, about mile and half from
Belleville, Ill. A special train of five
cars, filed with excurionists from st.
Louis, was approaching Belleville at the
rate of twenty miles an hour, when the
train rushed into an open switch nearly
mile long, and had gone half the length
of the switch before the engineer could
stop the train. A quarter Of a mile fur
ther on the switch rail had been adjust
ed so as to plunge the train down steep
embankment A frightful disaster was
narrowly averted. The occupants of the
coaches we're mostly women and chill
dren.

MOrehead Again Threatened.

A Special from Lexington Ky. says:
News has been received here that more
trouble is brcwering in Morehead, the
scene of the recent Tolliver outrage The
report says that eighteen men, armed
Winchester's. went from Soljer's Station,
on the Columbus and Ohio Road, to
Morehead. It's said that there are or
will be one hundred and fifty armed men
secreted around the thown. These men,
1t seems. belong to the Logan faction,
and are gathering because news has been
brought that patty of Tollivers friends
intend to come from Elliot County and
burn the town.
Boon Logan is in Morehead, and it
was he who ordered the assembling of
the men. Everybody feels that there is
trouble of the very worse sort ahead.
Judge De Hasen will hold a special term
of Court at Morehead some time this
month for the trial of Harris, alias Pen
dulem, for conspiracy to murder Judge
Cole and Taylor Young.

To Be Attacked by Torpedo Boats.

The presence of eight ships of war in
Newport, r.. l., harbor, including the
old tIaining flag ship New Hampshire,
has greatly revived the waning season.
This week will doubtless be one of great
interest. Admiral Luce is to test wheth-
er or not our modern ships of war can be
surprised by fiotilla of swift torpedo
boats. For that purpose the United
States steel cruiser Atlanta has been S.
lected to stand the test. The attack
will be made by large number of boats,
all at one time, which makes it SO much
harder for the defense. The cruiser At
lanta will be stripped for battle; officers
and crew will be called to general
quarters and the ship cleared ready for
action.
The test will be fair and square one,
and number OF umplres will be ap-
pointed to take station in each Of the
attacking boats and on board of the At
lanta. The attacking force will be under
Commander Colby NJ. Chester, of the
corvette Galena. All the officers from
the Naval War College at Coasters,
Harbor Island, will be present to witness
the engagement, which is to take place
Tuesday night.

WISE WORDS.

Exaetness in little duties is wonder
ful source of cheerfulness.
Takecare of your character; your repu-
tation will take care of itself.
He who is a stranger to industry may
possess, but he cannot enjoy.
The consciousness of integrity gives
ease and freedom to the mind.
Whatever you dislike in another per-
son take care to correct in yourself
The acquisition of knowledge is one
Of the most honorable occupations of
youth.
A higher morality, like higher intel
iigence, must be reached by slow
growth.
The world is like a wheel incessantly
revolving on which human things alter
nately rise and fall.
Old age never appears with greater
dignity than when, tempered with mild
ness and enlivened with good hnmoF, it
acts as the guide and the patron Of
youth.
A good man is the best friend, aud
therefore soonest to be chosen, longest 10
be retained, and indeed never to be parted
with, unless he ceases to be that for
which he was chosen.
The world is unjust in its judgments,
so it is in its requitals. Speedily efaces
the memory Of the greatest services; and
when we can repeat them no more, we
are neglected and thrown aside
